The drop seat l2s connected tothefront side fofy the pants 'portionby means of buttons 15g arrangedto extend through button holes kformedin the front-side or thepants c portion.` i l LA flfheparts JustI described are of the ordinary construction.

Se'cured to the frontside ofthe-pants porr tion, near the' upper `edge thereoI are the shoulderl bands16 and17; VAThe shoulder bands are of substantial Width,- the purpose of which Will 'be hereinafter more fully s'et. forth. i i :The shoulder bands .16 and' 17 .are sub"- sta-ntially ha-lf Wijde afs the rontof the pants portion, as clearly shown'in Figurel` of the drawings.

Y The vsleeve elements V'are secured only ay fraction of their entire diameter tothe shoulder bands 'so asto leave open 'portions' 21 and 24k betweenftheunderside of the lsleeve elementsl and the shoulder bands. y 5- The open portions 21' and 24 aresoarros ranged 'that they come directly under VVthe varm'pitoff the Wearerland do `not Carisathe.vf`

sleeve. element to bind but rather permit Y easy and free movement oit the arms, and

sufficient looseness so as to give the wearer of the garment as much comfort as possible.

The backs of the shoulder bands 16 andv 17 Yare each formed with buttons 25V which extend through button holes 26 formed in the drop seatr12 for securing the shoulder Vbands tothe back side of the pants portion.

rIhe shoulder band 16 is providedfwithf a pocket 27.

Whenitis desired to getinto the garment, all Vthat is necessai'yis to 'permit the sleeve elements and Yshoulder bands to assume the position shown iii-'dottedy llines in Figure Q @if the drawings, and `then slip 'they pants portion on the wearer.Y Each shoulder band and'sleeve is then brought into position Ywhere the arm 'of the wearer extends through a sleeve element and the shoulder band rests 'upon the shoulder or vthe wearer. Vhen'the vshoulder bands andV sleeve elements are in the position shown in solid lines in 'Figure 2, thenY the Garment is complete and the parts willbeA b Y lreptin raised position. l

It will be noted that the garmentl may be Vplaced on the wearer without disconnecting the buttons 25 from the button'holes 26, Aand this is one ofthe big advantages of-my gar! pantsfportion is supported bythe shoulder on the right side, and the right side or the pants `portion is supported by the shoulder on the lettside, thusI giving thewearer'ot the garment much freedom of Y lmovement without the possibility ofthe 'v garment binding either at theshoulde'rs orsides.

In Figure 4L of the drawings, I have shown side flaps 28 and 3,0 secured to the shoulder bands 16 and 17 on their back side by stitches, and secured to the 'liront 'side by buttons and button holes y29 and 31, as clear- `ly illustrated in Figure 4L of the drawings,

The side iiaps 28 and ltend 'topprotect the 'clothing'at the sides or' thewearer.V

Some changes may be made in lthefconstruction and arrangement of the VV`'various parts of my invention,` without departing fromrthe real spiritV and purpose or 'my in-v vention and it is my inten'tionfto lcover by my claims, any modiedforins of structure Vor use oit mechanical equivalents lwhich may be reasonably included within their scope.
